Taking the former Rugger and Aussie here will only help our interior defensive line. It gives us a legitimate ability to run the 3-4 and 4-3 sets that Mike Nolan loves to variate between. He can play the 1-tech no matter which front and Atlanta can definitely enjoy his attitude and versatility on the line. We get a steal here as he is easily worth a pick much higher.

2nd round, pick 28

The Atlanta Falcons select:

RB Giovani Bernard

With the release of Michael Turner and the new upgraded passing game here in Atlanta, we need someone who can be an all around threat in the offense. Giovani Bernard is an excellent addition who's speed, strength and receiving ability will help give Atlanta a legitimate running game when combined with Jacquizz Rodgers.

3rd round, pick 30

The Atlanta Falcons select:

Zaviar Gooden, LB, Missouri

Atlanta had a ton of trouble covering TE's in the 2012 season. By bringing in the speedy Gooden, the Falcons will have the hard hitting, fleet-footed linebacker needed to catch up with these great TE's. we had considered him at our 2nd round pick. So this is a steal.

4th round, pick 30

Quote:

The Atlanta Falcons select

Quanterus Smith, DE, Western Kentucky

Quanterus Smith is a long, quick defensive end who can translate well into a 3-4 or a 4-3. His pass rushing ability has been unheralded and had he not suffered an ACL injury, he would have gone much higher.

FWIW, I'm just going to occasionally advise, mostly on the draft. I can't necessarily help out with FA since, you know, I'm helping run it. _________________"John Wayne and Rio Lobo are coming up next, just as soon as Jeffrey Leonard hits into a 6-4-3." (CRACK!) "Six...four...three!" -- Skip Caray

Still don't get why this had to be posted though. If I would known it would be important I would have done it.

Yeah Jgold is right. Its better that we just keep track of all this stuff in our heads and communicate with each other through text/twitter.

You silly goose. I meant why couldn't I post it today. Why was it so important to post yesterday?

I wanted to help with the graphics this year oh mighty GM. Save you the trouble... I've got the photoshop open... I'm not as talented as you are, but I figured I could give it a shot. _________________
